How it works
GB per video hour = bitrate × 3,600 ÷ 8 ÷ 1,000; monthly cost includes stored GB and streamed GB.

Common questions
Why use full-length equivalent views?
It converts partial viewing into the equivalent number of complete streams at the entered bitrate.
How does Video storage and bandwidth calculate the result?
GB per video hour = bitrate × 3,600 ÷ 8 ÷ 1,000; monthly cost includes stored GB and streamed GB.
